Tony Adamo: I'll never be played on Jazz Radio again. The Dead
Playlist will never die. I comb the air waves for jazz playlist-lists like a
trawler fisherman for the Dead Playlist. And dig it. Jazz radio can't let go of
the past. I call the programming/ The Dead Playlist. I've always felt that jazz
radio and alot of the jazz press has boycotted my music for speaking out about
not playing more nu-jazz artists,more young jazz artists and to stop playing the
Dead Playlist.. Random Act Records(the record label I'm on) was at the Jazz
Connect Conference at APAP NYC this past January. This is what was said and
heard. “Meanwhile, at APAP and Jazz Connect in NYC this past January, many
people were talking about you and the album. Sadly, in a very negative manner. I
don't know how or why, but many folks in the jazz mainstream press were truly
put off by your approach. I'm not telling you this to admonish, etc, but to
inform you. Honestly, I was a bit shocked, just as many of them were surprised
to realize that the album is on our label. I defended you and your music, but it
was too late at that point. I'm afraid that well was already poisoned.” Random
Act Records. 'Nuff said!
